Michel Boudrias, PhD of Marine Science and Jim Bolender, PhD from Chemistry and Biochemistry, co-lead a multidisciplinary team that studies heavy metal impacts, nutrient loading, long-term ecological change and the effects of stingray feeding on the environment in Bahia Magdalena. Students gain experience in conducting hands-on teamwork to solve real-life applied scientific problems.
